Cabbage Wrap Taco Recipe

I started making these during one of those “reset” weeks when I wanted something lighter but still fun. Turns out, cabbage leaves make the perfect taco shells — sturdy, crunchy, and fresh. My husband was skeptical... until he ate four. Now they’re in our regular summer rotation!

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 8 cabbage leaves (green or purple), rinsed and patted dry

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade)

  • 1/4 cup water

  • Toppings: diced tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges

 

 

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté 2–3 minutes.

  2. Add ground meat and cook until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 5 minutes.

  3. While meat cooks, prep toppings and trim thick stems off cabbage leaves if needed.

  4. Spoon taco meat into cabbage leaves and top with desired toppings.

  5. Serve with a squeeze of lime and enjoy immediately!
